I Was at Edinburgh 99 and it was pretty wild, in fact there were fights breaking out in front of the stage before The Stones came on but despite that it was a great show. Shame there is no footage from that one, The Stones themselves were awesome that night.Quote

Scotland is a go.
Excellent. I'm a native so I'll be there! For those non Scots attending, be prepared for a wild audience I was at BtB Edinburgh in 1999 and Licks Glasgow Show 1 in 2003. The Wildest Audiences in Northern Europe for sure and perhaps not far behind those in the South.
Edinburgh is due for a date -- I was there in 99 too -- and it's been Glasgow ever since.
Great. Once had a love in edinbrugh, Linda. Great gal and she could drink me under the table and she was a lot of fun.

So, if the Stones have decided to embark on their first proper U.K. Tour since 1971, what can the public realistically expect? Ideally, Northern Ireland should get its first Stones show since 1965; a show apiece in Scotland and Wales; a show in the north and midlands of England - Newcastle and Birmingham, perhaps - and rounding things of with a trio of performances at North Greenwich's 02 Arena. Oh, and Knebworth, too.
That all sounds good Big Al but I personally think they should round it all off where it all began in Dartford (well at least for Mick and Keith)! They could do a few warm up club type shows at the Mick Jagger Centre and then finish up with a big show in central park as headliners at the Dartford show. Of course as that show is funded by Dartford council tax payers tickets should only be sold to people with a DA1 postcode. Don't worry as you are an ex-resident I will sort you out a ticket.
Ha-ha, thank you. I miss DA1. If they ever perform in GU17, I'll return the favour!
Ha! Well that's a thought, playing at The Mick Jagger Centre, a venue for a few hundred people max, in Mick's old school......maybe just for people living within, say, a 20 mile radius, us who started them off on their road to fame and fortune, only to be just a little neglected, shall we say, in the years to follow?

Well it looks like the rumoured Knebworth festival isn't happening next year:

I'd guess on two nights at Wembley Stadium plus other regional gigs.
Yes freezing cold wind! brrrrr!!!Quote

i too was at murrayfield that night in 1999.
it was a cold night for june and we were high up in the stands and there were many empty seats, but it was a good gig and a good setlist, they played routte 66, respectable, angie, like a rolling stone, before they make me run and opened the show with jj flash as i remember it.

[www.musicweek.com]
"Music Week revealed in September that the promoter was bidding to put on a new multi-day event in Knebworth Park next summer, but it is understood this is no longer being considered for 2018. However, the duo have reiterated their wish to stage a camping event "outside of a city" in the coming years."
I'd guess on two nights at Wembley Stadium plus other regional gigs.

We need a cool tour name. Too bad ‘By The Pound’ is already kinda taken.

Don't give up complete hope Ian - yes things are bleak for a new album anytime soon as mpj200 had posted, but anything is possible.
Someone else had mentioned they might have enough scraps of new material to throw something together quickly prior to the UK tour, but do we want to hear something that's half baked? It's a dilemma...not only for the fans but for also for the band. I say the should keep on rolling on the road while the going's good and demand is there, and let the album organically come together - even if it takes five more years
